Talking About Sam Gilliam's Art: A Dialog with Lowery Sims November 3, 2005

Sam Gilliam: a retrospective marks the first full-career retrospective of Sam Gilliam and the most extensive presentation of his work to date. Gilliam first achieved widespread acclaim in the late 1960s with his groundbreaking Draped paintings, which blur distinctions between painting, sculpture and architecture. Now into his fifth decade as an artist, Gilliam, who has been described as the most prominent African American abstract painter, continues to create innovative approaches that influence younger generations of artists. Organized by the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Sam Gilliam: a retrospective is on view from October 15, 2005 through January 22, 2006.
